Why dont you relieve the press of the country of the terrible tribute they are paying the paper trust by putting wood pulp on the free list? Are you surprised there are demands coming from all over this country for relief from these conditions. for relief from exorbitant taxation. for relief from the gambling spirit that runs riot in the land? Why dont you report and pass some bill restricting immigration. and stop the scum of Europe from coming here? For Gods sake. do something for the people or get out of the way and let us do something. I am not surprised. therefore. in view of this situation. that the minority leader today read the "riot act" to you and served notice on you that something must be done by the party in power. or he would resort to every parliamentary means possible to enforce action of some kind.
